ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police responded to several May 29 reports of burglaries from residents in towns along Lake Champlain.

The first report came from a homeowner on Mount Independence Road in Orwell, where the perpetrator(s) made entry by forcing open a bathroom window and stole prescription medication. The crime is believed to have occurred between May 21 and May 28.

A resident of Middle Road in Bridport reported that burglars stole approximately 35 sets of ear rings in various colors. That same day police received a report of a burglary at a residence off Route 17 West in Addison. Nothing was reported stolen.

However, a different homeowner off Route 17W in Addison also reported a break-in that day, in which several items of jewelry were stolen.

Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to contact VSP at 388-4919 or submit an anonymous tip online at www.vtips.info or by texting “CRIMES” to keyword: VTIPS.

In other recent activity, troopers:

• On May 28 at 6:35 p.m. stopped a motor vehicle driven by Hassimiou Bangoura, 33, of Barre on Route 116 in Starksboro and cited him for driving under the influence.

• On May 28 were dispatched to a collision on Route 7 in Salisbury. Their investigation suggested that a minor rear-end collision occurred when Christian Bernhard, 21, of West Rutland driving a red 2010 Subaru failed to leave sufficient space and collided with a 2008 black Nissan driven by Katelyn Bittner, 21, of Milton. Bittner and her passenger, identified as 49-year-old Mark Quintin, were transported to Porter Hospital, though neither reported injuries in follow-up conversations.

• On May 28 reported that they had cited Tyler Duval, 21, of Starksboro for leaving the scene of an accident. Trooper Hanley reported that on April 24 at just before 10 p.m. VSP responded to a report of a vehicle down the embankment and into the river on Upper Notch Road in Bristol. The vehicle involved did not go into the river but rather onto the rock bed next to the river. Nobody was with the vehicle and the operator never identified himself. Investigation revealed that the operator was Duval, the trooper reported.

Police report that Larry Steady, 55, of Bristol was driving a 1996 Saab 900 northbound when the vehicle went into the median, and Steady lost control when he overcorrected. The vehicle spun out, crossed both northbound lanes before going off the right side of the road, overturned and came to rest in an upright position.

Steady was wearing his seatbelt and was not injured.

Police issued Steady a ticket for failing to maintain safe and proper control of his vehicle within the marked travel lane. Trooper Tim Gould said it appears that the crash was caused by driver fatigue.
